Hi, i don't know you, but I just wanted to say I can see how exarcberated you are, and I totally get your feeling that short 'physical based' admissions aren't going to work. I was inpatient in a specialist ED unit for 9 months when I really did need to gain weight. A couple of years later I was back there on a 'short' program, at a better weight due to a 6 week stint of tube feeding. I didn't get the psych help I was desperately asking for and attempted suicide because the real problem wasn't being addressed. I was subsequently diagnosed with a co-morbid disorder of BPD, and was then able to push for funding to be treated in a DBT-focused residential program which addressed everything really and saved my life. Do you have access to DBT (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy) over there? Xx
